Hand Spun Harmony

Remember that hand-spun yarn that I showed you a while back? Well, here's how it ended up:


I combined my hand spun yarn with some single-ply commercial yarn in a large shawl.


The design has rows of garter stitch alternating with lacy sections of knit faggoting.


The dimensions of this shawl, which also can be worn as an oversized scarf, are 80 inches (203 cm) long by 17 inches (43 cm) wide. This one-of-a-kind piece is one of the more expensive items in my shop, because of the labor necessary to both spin the yarn and knit the shawl. It's in my shop waiting for someone to fall in love with it.
